What's the Deal wth all this Construction!?!?!

2011-09-27T12:55:00.000-04:00

You know what I’ve been noticing a lot lately as I’m driving around; Construction and HOLY SHIT there’s a lot of it! It seems to me that the City of Ottawa decided to do ALL of its construction this year. I know it has been a long time coming but they should have done it a while ago don’t you think?? Usually I don’t mind it cause it helps make roads a lot better & creating more jobs but this is getting out of hand. It’s like everywhere you go now there construction. It’s like driving through a war zone! It’s THAT BAD!

It slows down traffic, and causing everyone to take alternative routes. Most areas you can’t even avoid it. You have no choice but to go through it. You have to drive like an 80 year old who can’t see behind the wheel; Swerving away from bumps so that you don’t fuck up your car. Sometimes it causes traffic jams. You’re stuck there driving two km every few minutes and all you can do it wait patiently like saint while you are breaking your high score on Angry Birds! Sometimes they have to close down exits ramps on highways causing you to back track to where you have to be! It also causes damage to your car with all the bumps you take, the rocks scratching the paint off & chipping away at your window, and all that dust covering your car. It’s like driving around in the middle of Afghanistan.

I wouldn’t be surprise if you are late for work because of this construction, and you have an asshole boss that tells you that you should have shown up way earlier or take a different way in order to get to work on time. Won’t that bring your piss to a boil to have your piece of shit boss show no concern of your dilemma. Buses are worse too. They are already slow and now it’s 10 times slower cause of construction. You mind as well just get off the bus and walk the rest of the way. Why not bike you say??? Ya, I would like to see bike around a backhoe.

Also, some of it seems pointless. Like the removal of the traffic circle all the way on Prince of Wales. WHY? Doesn’t ease the flow of traffic and reduces the number of…you know…CAR CRASHES! What a selfish thing to do! I mean…What were they thinking? Bottom Line, FIX THESE ROADS ASAP!!!!! God damn it!!! And you know what's worse? You know what's really worse? Guess what? It wont be done until a year or so....What a shit load of fuck! This has been another….Classic Insight!

Super Steet Fighter 4: The Arcade Edition

2011-08-15T09:55:00.000-04:00

I love Street Fighter. It’s my favourite series out of the fighting genera. So when Capcom released Street Fighter 4 I was ecstatic! Months went by and Capcom did an update with Street Fighter 4 adding new characters and better multiplayer, calling it Super Street Fighter 4. Again, I thought this was cool since the last game was pretty awesome. SSFIV was great; so you think Capcom is done updating this game. WRONG! Here comes Super Street Fighter 4: The Arcade Edition. Capcom is notorious for updating this series and milking it for all its worth. Well, I`m here to discuss the latest installment; Super Street Fighter 4: The Arcade Edition. I already own a copy of SSFIV, So I`ll be discussing the DLC package.

Recently the Arcade Edition DLC was released; Adding 4 new characters, fixing balance issues, and adding more to the multiplayer features. The new characters in this latest installment consist of Evil Ryu, Oni, Yun and Yang. This brings the roster up to 39 playable characters. The new characters are definitely some the best fighters to choose from. Out of the four new characters I find Yang to be the best with his speed and target combos, he can do the most damage. The same goes for Yun but I like using Yang. Each new character has the animated intro and ending to their story modes just like the rest of the characters. They added a few more features as well. In the replay channel, they added an ELITE CHANNEL where you can view the replays of world class players so you can learn how to fight like they do. In MY CHANNEL ADVANCE, replays can be both viewed publicly and saved. Hosts can open a channel and play replays, and guests in the channel can save those replays to MY LIST. They also added new titles and icons for the new characters which you can include on your online player card.

Now there are some down sides to this game as well. As I mentioned before about the new titles and icons; they are unlocked the instant you start the game leaving less things to unlock. Also they are no trail modes for any of the new characters and it also clearly states that they are not compatible in trial mode and reverts back to normal SSFIV. I also found that these new characters are a bit over powered; especially online. I also like to see more dialogue from the new characters during the battle with their respective rivals.

Overall, this game is beautifully designed and the fighting is just awesome. However, I like to see Capcom make a few tweaks in this game such as Trial modes for Evil Ryu, Oni, Yun and Yang. Adding extra dialogue and balancing the new characters because they are just too strong. Hopefully they will do it with a patch. If you already have a copy of SSFVI you should download it. Its only 1200 Microsoft points or; you can pick up a hard copy for 40$. My final verdict, I give this game a 7.5 outta 10. It’s worth checking it out!

Captain America: First Avenger

2011-07-25T12:14:00.000-04:00

So I went to see Captain America. I didn’t see it in 3D...Thank God. I actually wanted to enjoy this film. It wasn’t perfect but then again no Marvel movie ever is. I thought it was pretty good. There are a few stupid things but then again it’s a Marvel film which are notorious for having stupid scenes in there movie. I’ll mention that later. Aside from that...it was an enjoyable movie.

Chris Evans was good as Captain America. The way they made use of CGI in order to make Chris Evans skinny looks freakishly real. If I had to nitpick, I’d say his head did look slightly bigger than his body which made him look like a walking bobblehead. Hayley Atwell was good in this movie as well. She was a strong female character and she was pretty kick ass in this...and she looked pretty hot in it as well. They didn’t do the cliché thing where who have your damsel in distress that needs to be rescued. They made her character a strong woman you don’t want to mess with. I thought the romance between Chris Evans and Hayley Atwell wasn’t too rushed or forced because they needed to have enough screen time to build Chris Evans as Captain America. There was this one part near the end at the movie (SPOILER ALERT) where he is about to crash the plane into the Arctic and sacrificing himself, there was a little monolog between the two about rescheduling there date which was sorta cheesy and hoping that he would just crash the plane already. It leads to the final scene at the end (SPOILER ALERT) where hes frozen and wakes up into the future, finds out the love of his life is dead and he is like “Well thats too bad...I had a date!” I found it cheesy but than again it’s Captain America. I have to say Hugo Weaving was awesome as the Red Skull. He made Red Skull very intimidating and bad ass. Tommy Lee Jones was in this and he was great in this as well. Dominic Cooper did a good job as Howard Stark and Sebastian Stan as Bucky was also done well. In fact, the whole supporting cast was really up to par in this film.

There was a few dull moments in this film. For instance, there was this musical number BUT NOTHING LIKE SPIDER-MAN 3! It was on the directors take of America propaganda during World War 2. You either like it or you hate this scene but I felt it kinda went on for awhile. Also there was this chase scene after he became Captain America; He is chasing the German Spy across the city which ended up at the pier where this sub-marine just shows up randomly. Also when Captain America breaks into enemy territory wearing the cheesy costume with the bright blue and red shield kinda stands out. I thought he looks like a walking bullseye. I felt the Hyrda Soldiers kinda went down pretty easy like the Storm Troopers from Star Wars but at least the Hyrda Soldiers did more damage than them. Im just being nitpicky thats all.

Overall , this was a good film. Good action scenes & good story telling. Theres a scene after the ending credits which is the Avengers Trailers which I cannot wait for. Looks pretty good. Marvel is 3 for 3 this year with there films which a good sign of things to come. So check out Captain America. I rate it a 7.5/10.

Sonic Generations Demo Review

2011-07-05T21:14:00.000-04:00

I just finished playing the demo for the new Sonic Generations. Before I give my opinion on the demo, let me explain the concept of the game. This is a new concept unlike any throughout the Sonic series. Theres gonna be TWO Sonics instead of just one. A MODERN Sonic that will feature levels in a full 3D game play just like the recent titles and a CLASSIC Sonic that will feature a modernize 2D side scrolling levels that old school fans all enjoyed playing and loved. I’m sure they are some people out there who enjoy the recent Sonic games and there others not so much and prefer the old style of game play that grew Sonic into popularity. This is a neat concept combining the recent Sonic games with the old traditional Sonic games. This game has something for everyone who is a fan of the old fastest hedgehog.

I`ve haven`t played Sonic for awhile so once I heard that the demo was out I thought I dust off my red and white shoes and try this game out. Once the title screen hits, you are hit with the classic Sonic song that everyone remembers. It’s updated to keep up with the times which make sense. It was awesome to hear that jingle again and reminded how great those games were back in the day. Once you hit start, the first level is the famous Green Hill Zone which features the famous jingle from the first Sonic. Again, updated but it still the same song; Beat by Beat just modernize. Graphic wise, the game looks pretty sweet and it runs at a very stable frame rate just like the old games. Just like the old games, the level design in Green Hill Zone is true to its previous counter part by having multiple passages to the end the level at a quicker pace. However; there are some draw backs to this game. The controls feel a bit off and Sonic stops immediately once you let go of the controller unlike the previous games where he keeps on running. The camera likes to zoom in whenever it feels like it. This is something you have to get use to. I also found that the enemies blend in too much and don`t stand out so its tough to see them. You have the option of enabling the 3D Stereoscopic mode which I thought made it slightly easier to see the enemies but not that much.

This demo only has the Classic Green hill Zone to play. It would be nice to include a level with the Modern Sonic to see how that’s like. Unfortunately; There isn‘t any so I have no opinion. Overall, it’s a demo so I wasn’t expecting much but I found it somewhat enjoyable and I believe this game has potential if they fix some minor details. This demo is out on XBOX Live and the PS Network for a limited time. As a demo I really cant say much because its only one level but I give it a 6 outta 10. So if you are a hard core Sonic fan, Check it out!

Stanley Cup Finals - My Thoughts

2011-06-16T15:51:00.000-04:00

Well I want to start by saying the better team won. This was an interesting Finals. A lot has happened. Alex Burrows finger biting. Horton getting cruelly hit from Rome. Luongo talking about pumping tires??? Tim Thomas playing awesome and winning the Conn Symth. I would like to begin by saying Congrats on the Bruins for winning Lord Stanley. For the Canucks, I wanna say Thank you...Thank you for making your Cup run look like a fucking joke. Way to let the city of Vancouver, the province of British Columbia and some how the rest of Canada down for letting them think you could bring the Cup back home. In my mind, they shouldn't even be in the Finals. The Canucks got all the bullshit breaks and when their bullshit finally cought up to them, they got beaten royally!

I'm not even a Boston Bruins fan. I don't even like them due to me being a Leafs fan in all but I have to give them credit. The Bruins came out to play and they won. If the Canucks wanted to win the Cup, they should of put them away earlier in the series. Instead, all they did was bitch and trash talk and look what happened. Why couldn't the Canucks just shut up and focus on their game play instead! Now the Bruins are serving those words in the bowl of the Stanley Cup. In my opinion, tough teams win championship. The work horses, & the players who have heart. That what makes a winning team. Not teams who bitch, complain about everything and trash talks when they can't get even back it up.....Loungo. Thats right Bobby Lou. I'm talking too you....

I don't understand why stupid players on stupid teams gotta open there big mouths for. Take Miami Heat for example. Those big 3 idiots made a fools of themselves on stage and claiming they are gonna win championships yet they lost to the Dallas Mav's whos owner is the most out spoken billionair ever; and he didnt say a word during the NBA playoffs. He let his team did all the talking on the court. Anyways back to hockey, Mike Gillis & the rest of the Vancouver Canucks; heres some words of wisdom I like to share with you. Too quote a line from The Room "Leave your stupid comments in your pocket!"

After game 2, the Canucks let there gaurd down and thats when the Bruins took over the series. Boston deserved it. Vancouver, I hope you learn from this play off run and not make the same mistake twice. Congrats again to the Bruins and I hope the team that brings the Cup back home is Toronto. GO LEAFS GO! This has been another....Classic Insight!

Heres a lil'bonus that was sent to me.

From Kesler’s surly persona, to Alex Burrows’ finger biting, diving and endless head-snaps, to Maxim Lapierre’s embellishments and fake injuries, to Raffi Torres knack for hitting only the unsuspecting — wait, we’re getting to our point — to Luongo’s childish quotes about Thomas not "pumping his tires," to the legit tough Kevin Bieksa’s two playoff fights coming against pacifists Viktor Stalberg and Patrick Marleau, to teammates who allowed the Sedins to be abused throughout this series by little Brad Marchand and never stood up for them, to a GM in Mike Gillis who never once credited any of his predecessors with acquiring all of the best players on this team, the Canucks wore the villain’s hat well in this series.

Whats the deal with this weather!?!?!?

2011-03-10T14:11:00.000-05:00

The weather lately in this city has been...HORRIBLE! IT’S HORRAWFUL! You can tell I’m extremely pissed off about the weather lately when I start quoting SHAQ! I am sick and tired of all this snow we are getting. When it snows, and HOOLLYY SHIT does it ever snow. Not only it snows, it rains as well. Snow and rain is a very bad combination. Just like a skunk covered in dog turds! All I want is a consistent week of sunshine. That’s all I ask. Not one or two; but a week! Like c'mon. One day it’s great, next day its mehh, and then the next day is like; WHAT THE FUCK!?!? I am tired of all the snow and the crappy weather we’ve been getting as of late. I just wanna move to somewhere where its warm and snow free! There’s a reason why geese fly south during the winter or old folks move to Florida. Maybe I should take a cue from them and move to Del Boca Vista. I don't like waking up in the morning, having to shovel piles and piles of snow. I hate when the city comes by with their snowplows’ and pile and mountains of snow on your driveway. This is a bitch to remove by the way!

Also, temperature is bullshit! You check the temperature and it says it’s -5 but it "feels" like -15. So from this point on don't tell me what the temperature is, just tell me what if feels like! Temperature controls your lives and some people don't even know it. Today it’s cold, and in a few months it’s gonna be too hot. You dress for the heat and you dress your cold; it’s back and forth for the rest your meaningful lives. It’s a vicious circle. The only thing it’s good for is too have an obligatory conversation with the neighbours you avoid talking too. Fuck winter! Fuck this cold! Fuck temperature! I don't like it! This has been another classic insight!

P.S. Sorry for the delay....

SNOW!

2011-02-07T12:02:00.000-05:00

Do you know whats bullshit??? SNOW! It's all over the place. Hell, it’s even snowing in California. It's been snowing a lot and I can't stand it anymore. Okay Snow...we get it! It’s starting to piss off not only myself but others as well. It was fun for awhile but now it’s getting ridiculous. In my opinion, snow is only fun during the Christmas seasons and that’s it. Otherwise, it’s a complete utterly mess that we have to deal with (pending on where you live). Its cold, it’s wet and gets everyone sick!

I hate it when I wake up, take a look outside and all I see is snow all over the fucking ground. This means I have to go outside into the cold and shovel! The worst part is when you think you're almost done shovelling, the city comes by with their snowplows so they can clean the roads; leaving a big pile of snow in front of your driveway which is a pain in the ass to shovel! Fucking assholes!

Anyways, snow makes roads annoying to drive on. It slows down traffic making it difficult to get to work on time. Finding a parking spot is a bitch; especially when it comes to down town parking. Since the city does a poor job cleaning the sides of the roads, you have to drive on piles of snow just to park your car. It also makes your car all dirty cause of the combination of snow and salt on the ground. Try walking without getting slush all over your pants. It makes the bottom of your jeans look like crap and making your socks wet and causing your feet to smell like a cucumber salad!

You know what else I find annoying, people who love winter, and love the snow yet they complain about how cold it gets. That’s stupid. I hate winter. I can't wait for rain to come and melt all the snow. I actually prefer the rain than snow. At least you don't have to shovel rain! Don't you just love snow! I can’t wait for it to be over and I know I’m not the only one who thinks that! Bottom line...STOP SNOWING GOD DAMN IT! This has been another...Classic Insight!

3D Movies!!!

2011-01-24T11:08:00.000-05:00

Recently, there has been a growing trend in the movie industry towards watching movies in the third dimension or simply put: "3D". I am not saying that I hate 3D movies; I just don't get what the big deal is. Now I admit, I don't get a lot of things and this is one of them. When you go to the theatres to watch a 3D movie, not only do you usually have to buy a popcorn and drink, you also have to get those stupid 3D glasses that'll make you look like someone from a bad 80's movie! Why does every movie have to be in 3D now? Take Green Hornet for example. Do we really need to see Seth Rogan's big fucking head popping out of the big screen!?! Now imagine watching a 3D drama movie...or a remake of the Mask with Rocky Dennis (google him if you don’t know who that is). Picture that giant fucking head in 3D! Now that’s a sight for soar eyes!

Even the TV industry is getting in on this 3D technology now. So again, if you want to feel the full 3D experience in the comfort of your own living room, you have to wear those glasses that are fit for Geordi La Forge. I tried watching something on 3D TV once and I didn't have a clue what was going on! The only thing I got out of my experience was a migraine! How in God’s name are you supposed to follow what the hell is going on in the movie when you're experiencing an epileptic seizure! Even televised sports are trying to get in on the 3D market. Imagine watching hockey or baseball in 3D?? Yeah, that’s what you want visualize... getting a 90 MPH puck or a fastball headed straight for your face! Here’s an idea!…if you want to get the full feel of the game, you know, the full experience of a sporting event, here’s something you can all do…. ACTUALLY GO TO THE BLOODY GAME!!!!

I wonder how people with prescription glasses wear these HD glasses. Do they have to take off their own glasses and wear the 3D ones? I'm sure with their impaired vision; it would make it even better to watch something in 3D. Then again...no it probably won't! People; please listen to me! 3D does not make stories better, it does not add to the experience, it is just the latest fad in the technology industry…. a novelty if you will. People need to wake up and get over this shit! On that note, this has been another...Classic Insight!

New Years Aftermath

2011-01-07T12:16:00.000-05:00

So almost a week has passed in the New Year and everyone is back in the harsh reality of the “everyday work life.” I hope everyone had a good time on News Years eve. I know I did, except for some minor mishaps at a nightlife establishment in Montreal. I am, of course, talking about the Koko Lounge. Unfortunately, their organization of that nightclub was, in a word, HORRIBLE!

I don't even know where to begin. So I guess I’ll just begin with the beginning of the night (seems logical eh?). So we purchased tickets in advance that were to allow us entrance at 11PM. Guess what time I got in? If you are thinking that I got in right away, then you guessed wrong! I entered the Koko Lounge at 11:55pm. That’s right...a whole FIVE minutes before the count down! (This became 2 minutes before the countdown because I really needed to find the closest wash room). Prior to that, my friends and I were waiting OUTSIDE in the RAIN in a fit of profanity like an Old Man Trying to send Back Soup in a Deli! Everyone in the line up was irate at this point. So we finally get in, and I bee-line it immediately for our table, where I am confronted with the harsh realization that it is, in fact, a small table! I would hazard a guess that it was the size of my desk in high school...literally! Anyways, the drinks that were on this desk consisted of champagne and juice. All of that wait for juice. Finally, the countdown was upon us and we at long last managed to celebrate the New Year! Once the countdown finished, all the guys in the club began kissing their girlfriends. And as for this single guy…...I was drinking the champagne and Kool Aid…..yeeeaahhhhhh. Amidst the celebration, I also managed to notice that Dick Clark is still alive! I'm convinced that he is a robot! With all the stuff that happened to the gang and me, my buddy (who was dressed like Don Corleone) had enough and finally got our booze. We ordered 4 bottles under the impression it was supposed to be free for the crap we had dealt with (the owner’s implication, not mine). Upper Management, or the Owner...whomever... thought differently. They were going to charge us for all four bottles! My buddy argued and argued and then finally came away with an agreement. The real "Don" wouldn’t have argued. He would have threatened the owner that if he ever wanted to shave with his own hands again that the bottles would be free. Fortunately for management this wasn’t the real Don Corleone. In the end, everything turned out okay but the fact that we had to deal with that bullshit from this "established" club is just god damn ridiculous.

I forgot to mention how packed it was in there. It was so packed, I felt like I was in the pages of a Where’s Waldo book! Oh I also have to mention how during the night, they had random entertainment for our ‘enjoyment’. They had skimpily clad women on stage...which was rather hot! One girl was grinding a metal rod and a piece of metal covering her snatch. SWEAR! Also, another two were almost naked and feeling each other up. Now you girls are thinking that this sexist and want men on stage as well. To steal a line from a hit TV show Seinfeld "A woman's body is a work of art. A man's body is a utilitarian. It's for getting around. It's like a Jeep." ‘Nough said.

Overall, New Years is over rated. You’re suppose to spend time with your friends, family and your significant others. You don't need to go somewhere fancy or spend a lot of money. Just go to someone's house and have a pot luck or something. Not some random bar run by monkeys. With that… Happy New Years and Koko Lounge SUCKS! This had been another...classic insight!

Top 5 of 2010

2010-12-30T11:10:00.000-05:00

Christmas is over, Boxing Day was insane and the New Year is just around the corner. A lot has happened this past year. Some of it good and some of it not so good. Whether it was inspiring or ridiculous, 2010 was an interesting year for all of us. If you think I am going to discuss all the good that has happened this past year, then you have another thing coming. Here are the top 5 things that annoyed me in the year 2010. Why top five? Cause I’m too lazy to come up with 5 more!

5.) TOYOTA – Even though the recalls occurred in 2009, it did cross over in 2010. The recalls were due to the foot pedal being stuck to the flood mat causing numerous Toyota cars to crash. This affected me because I had plans to purchase a 2010 Corolla. For many years, I was driving around in a beat up, piece of shit 95 Grand AM (or as my friends like to call it, the ‘grand slam’.) So when the time came to buy a new car, I decided on a Toyota. On the day said purchase of the Corolla was supposed to be made, Toyota announced recalls of most of their cars. The sales rep told me if I bought the car, I wouldn’t have it until 3 months after the recall. Screw that! I needed a new car right away! My friends were sick of driving my sorry ass around! This resulted in me moving my efforts towards a Mazda 3. No longer did I have to drive around in that junk pile of that ‘Grand Slam’ and I couldn’t be any happier. “Addition by subtraction” as they say.

4.) Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) – Want to increase the Canadian economy? How about combining PST and GST and tax everything you can get your hands on including GAS! Gas prices increased due to the HST and I for one hate it (although, I’m not sure anyone actually likes it? If you do, give me a shout)! Paying over a dollar per litre on gas is, as the French say, ‘nuts’. I don’t know much about economics (seriously, check my college audit) but I do know that the average tax payer agrees with me that paying 1.15 per litre is ridiculous. I’m moving to Alberta, who’s with me?

3.) CONAN O’BRIEN VS NBC – First, let me preface this by saying I am a huge Conan fan. So when Jay Leno announced he was leaving the The Tonight Show, NBC promised it to Conan, and I for one couldn’t be happier. Leno did get his own show after that...which was the exact same show as the Tonight Show, just at an earlier time slot. Both shows received poor ratings and Conan got the ugly end of the stick which led to NBC forcing Conan off the air for seven months paving the way for Leno to return to ‘his’ Tonight Show (which was actually Conans Tonight Show, that was originally Lenos tonight show). Now Conan found a new home on TBS and his show is funnier than ever. I still miss his old jokes, one’s he can’t do because they are “the intellectual property of NBC”. Any fan of Conan wants to hear “in the year 2000!” again. Bring it back man! BRING IT BACK!

2.) TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS – This is a team that can’t do anything right. No matter how hard they try, they always find new ways to fuck it up. It’s so bad now that fans are throwing waffles on the ice. Mind you, I think that is pretty funny and original but still. Enough is enough! What really grinds my gears the most is that they don’t even have a first round pick! I have to believe that this team is the biggest joke in the NHL (well, next to Wang’s Islanders. Need I say more?). As much as I love the Leafs, they have to be somewhat competitive. That’s all I ask for. Let’s hope that in the New Year they can turn it around and move from 3^rd last to 7^th!!!!!.

1.) THE JERSEY SHORE – Now this is a show I CAN NOT stand and when MTV announced on January 2010 for a second season, I just about lost my mother fucking mind! This means that someone is paying for this to air on MTV. Think about that for a second. I fucking hate MTV to begin with but this show is flat out retarded. Now I’ll probably get some heat for this because, unfortunately, there are some people out there that actually enjoy this show! It confirms my belief that people really just enjoy Italians. They love Rocky. They love The Fonz. They really enjoyed the Sopranos. There’s a pizza restaurant at every corner…. so why not watch a bunch of Italians live up to the stereotype of tanning, working out, and putting a litre of gel in their hair. I don’t understand how anyone could enjoy watching a bunch of simple minded individuals. Maybe Stewie Griffin was right when he said “deep down we all secretly yearn to be Italian and stupid!”

Well I hope you enjoyed this list and hope that 2011 will be even more interesting than 2010. Happy New Years everyone and I’ll see you in the New Year. This has been another instalment of...a Classic Insight.

Xmas Blog!

2010-12-21T11:16:00.000-05:00

So its winter, its fucking cold and Christmas is just around the corner and if you are like me, your one of those last minute Christmas shoppers who doesn’t have clue what to get. Ah the joys of Christmas shopping. Don’t you just love getting into your car and driving around store to store through all that traffic or freezing your asses off in the cold waiting for the bus to arrive. There are a lot of things that annoys me about Christmas shopping. I hate driving to stores in insane amount of traffic. Don’t even bother trying to change lanes cause most people are assholes and won’t let you in. I also hate driving around the parking lot and looking for a spot and when you do find one, some asshole comes along and snipes it from you. Or when you see someone about to leave from their spot, they take forever to leave cause the jackass is yapping away on their cell phone. The worst is when you're trying to the leave the parking lot and people neglect to yield. I think it’s because people are trying to get the hell out of there as fast as possible. Also, the stores are jam packed with crazy people. Especially stores like Future Shop or Bestbuy. I find it humorous when people are playing the motion games on the Playstation Move or XBOX Kinect and realizing they don’t have a clue what the hell they are doing. The worst is when you look for a particular gift and it’s no longer in stock or they don’t have the right size shirt you’re looking for. Kind of annoying! Try shopping on Boxing Day! That’s even crazier. People are lining up in front of stores the night before. I can only imagine how they are spending their Christmas day. Its like “So what did you do on Christmas?” “Oh you know...open up gifts, had dinner with my family, and now I’m going to wait in line in front Bestbuy like a douchebag!” Bunch of Savages in this town. So in the end I just want to say Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah! Happy Holidays Everone!...and if you have a problem with Happy Holidays then Happy Shut the Fuck Up!

So I have a blog now. Since work is being a bitch right now I have a bit of free time on my hands. So I decided to create a site that expresses my feelings towards today's pop culture. This isn't the first time that I did a website or blogs. As far back as I can remember, I had a site on the ol' geo cities (if you people even remember geocities) with my buddy Ern with are profile pictures with me being Steve Sanders from 90210 and Ern being Zack Morris from Save by the Bell. It got somewhat popular but I got lazy with the updates and then forgot up it completely. Years past and I started a blog on facebook called "The Angry Clerk" expressing my hatred towards my former job at Farmer's Pick. It got great reviews and my fellow co workers at time told me they enjoyed it and thought it was humorous. Due to the popularity of it, I had too stop just in case my boss reads them and fires me for telling the truth.

Most of you who know me, probably witnessed or herd stories about how a goof I am and only find me funny when I do something stupid. I want to show that I can be funny through interpretive writing and I hope these blogs can do that. I hope you enjoy these blogs as much as I do writing them. I'll probably write a blog once every one or two weeks or whenever I have the time. Pretty much whenever I feel like writing them. I'll let you know via facebook or twitter. Ya I tweet....not that there's anything wrong with it. So this has been...a Classic Insight!

P.S. If you want you can post comments about my blogs weather it is positive or negative. You can tell me how good it is or how I suck and i'm talentless like the L.A. Clippers. Oh ya one more thing....PLEASE SUBSCRIBE! I would really appreciate it and It would mean a lot to me if you do. Thanks a bunch!!
